World-wide Increase in Geopolymer Research

Twenty five years long, geopolymer science was studied in very few laboratories and institutions. It is only during the last five years that we notice a strong increase in geopolymer research. The number of scientific papers dealing with geopolymer science & technology is following an exponential growth. The chart displays the evolution of the number of geopolymer papers published from 1991 onwards (publication of Davidovits’ reference paper in J. Thermal Analysis), up to 2009, referenced in Science Direct + SpringerLink under the keyword “geopolymer”.
